Ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina plans to return to Bangladesh by December. She is prepared to face arrest, imprisonment, or even execution upon her arrival. Hasina fled the country in August 2024 after widespread protests ended her rule. Her party faces repression and legal proceedings following the change in government.
Hasina said she had "sympathy for every family that lost a loved one" in student protests

Two years after ouster, Sheikh Hasina to make first public appearance in India
According to multiple media reports, Hasina will attend a virtual event hosted by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of South Asia (FCC South Asia) in New Delhi.
This was the first official reaction from Bangladesh on Sheikh Hasina's scheduled interaction at the Foreign Correspondent's Club of South Asia in New Delhi.
Bangladesh seeks India's clarification on supporting Sheikh Hasina's upcoming virtual address. Dhaka wants assurances that Indian territory will not be used for political statements. The government fears such activities could destabilize Bangladesh and harm bilateral ties. India has previously indicated it does not expect fugitives to make political statements. No decision has been made regarding Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's attendance at the BRICS Summit.
The house was also vandalised.
Bangladesh has openly criticized India for allegedly exploiting the Hasina card, which presents a challenge to India's aims of fostering amicable relations with Bangladesh. The home minister emphasized the importance of mutual respect and sovereignty between nations, expressing concerns that Hasina may be colluding with external forces against the current government. India's frequent gestures toward Hasina are deemed unwelcome by some, complicating neighborly ties.
Sheikh Hasina said she will work out the details of her return to Bangladesh
